Worst that happens, he sucks and the eagles wasted a 4th and 7th round pick.

Anybody who thinks Chip Kelly’s offense or Chip Kelly is a gimmick or one trick pony is speaking from ignorance. Getting a talent like Barkley in the 4th round is a steal. Fact is the Pats with Brady are running Kelly’s offense so people, especially the imbeciles in Philly need to calm down because you lucked out with Kelly.

Sat, 27 Apr 2013 18:32:52 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2037832#comment-2494504I would only approve of the pick if the exchange involved Nick Foles. It makes no sense to keep Foles if the Eagles wanted to trade him for a 3rd Rounder because Barkley is like a 3rd Round pick as it is ahead of pick #100.

Foles’ ex-QB coach from AZ is in Jacksonville.

Sat, 27 Apr 2013 17:53:48 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2037832#comment-2494392Taking Matt Barkley in the fourth round is the STEAL of the 2013 draft. Odds are Vick will not stay healthy and the Eagles trade Noles to the Chiefs. Barkley could be starting for the Eagles this year. And he has a big Chip looking over his shoulder .

Sat, 27 Apr 2013 17:33:02 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2037832#comment-2494354great pick. there is zero risk to be had and if Barkley is nothing more than AJ Feely that’s still great value. Vick plays better under scrutiny, Foles became an NFL starter by default and needs competition. Dixon will sell out trying to make this team and be a great teammate, and Kinne? well actually he is the most athletic of Vicks back-ups and could be faster than Vick at this stage in their respective careers. Nice pick Chip.

Kinne is camp fodder. Dixon’s a long shot. Not sure why everyone thinks it’s unusual to have five quarterbacks for camp.

Since he was hired, he’s said he wants to collect great football players and then build a scheme to maximize their abilities, not the other way around. Chip has had success with guys like Dennis Dixon but also success with guys like Ricky Santos.

If you want to understand the pick and what he’s trying to do just listen to him. He’s telling everyone but no one hears him.

Sat, 27 Apr 2013 17:13:36 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2037832#comment-2494316Chip has college football mentality where he can carry 7 QBs but in NFL having 3 QBs on the roster is a luxury so someone isn’t going to make the roster. And there are current contracts to consider.

Any fool can see Barkley doesn’t fit into that offense. Good luck with that iggles and enjoy another year at the bottom of the EAST.

In a fast paced, no-huddle offense, how about a guy that can develop into a coach on the field and can audible and make adjustments on the fly. Great pick and a real steal.

Poor kid. If this isn’t a lesson in leave school early while your stock is high then nothing is

These guys are rock stars at USC and Hollywood while they are there, that is why they don’t leave. It has nothing to do with “complement an education: which they try to pass it off as. Lienhart and Sanchez made the same mistakes.

And none of these guys lasted more than a few games. With that being said, not sure how long Barkley is gonna last. If it was me I would have rolled the dice with Denard Robinson, purely off his hair style and the probability that he owns every Lil Wayne CD. Go Eagles!

Sat, 27 Apr 2013 16:38:36 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2037832#comment-2494250Folks – first of all, they are not running the West Coast Offense and Shurmur will not be calling the plays. It’s Chip’s Offense. Shurmur is basically there to do all the grunt work during the week preparing for an opponent that Kelly will not have time for.

Second – Kelly has repeatedly told Eagles leadership he will adapt his Offense to the talent he has to put the players in the best position to make plays based on their unique talents – not jamming square pegs in round holes in the name of his scheme. (What a concept, huh? Not sure why Andy Reid never got that.)
